MSRP of a new 2013 Fj Cruiser equipped like the used 2010 FJ Cruiser I linked from Autotrader would be in the range of $36K MSRP....note that it is a 4x4 automatic with Convenience and Upgrade packages. The point remains the same. Used 2010s (even with "low" mileage ~30K) are not selling for...

See the exchanges above.... Where did I bash Toyota?!?! I'm simply backing Switawi's statement that a three year old FJ Cruiser is indeed available for roughly 70% of their new MSRP, counter to JWP58's statement that all used Toyota's (FJ) sell for "near new" prices. Which is quite provable...

Projected resale value on 2013 models. For 2010s we already know how it played out. Get it?

Perception doesn't matter when there are concrete numbers. 4Runners and Tacomas have much higher resale values (percentage of original transaction prices) than Tundras and FJ Cruisers. Note that I was specific in my post. Numbers don't lie. Is a three year old FJ Cruiser still selling for...

You can buy 2010 FJ Cruisers for $23-26K with normal equipment/miles/condition all day long. New, they sticker for about $36K. That's 70%, give or take. FJ Cruisers and Tundras don't hold their value any better than any other competitor. Here's an example (2010 w/ 30K miles $23K): Autotrader...

Jeep is no longer red-white-and-blue? Their 3.0L V6 turbodiesel in the Grand Cherokee is impressive. As you're all aware, that motor is made by VM Motori which is owned equally by Fiat and GM. So if GM wanted, that same 3.0L V6 turbodiesel could find its way into a GM truck or SUV. I think it...

Instead of what? A V6? A four cylinder? A straight six? I'm sure they choose the V8 for packaging efficiency and strength Why did Cummins choose a 5.0L V8 diesel? Nissan gets it next year for the Titan, and Toyota is nibbling on the idea

To be fair, all 6.2Ls -- trucks or cars -- have aluminum blocks All Gen V smallblocks are aluminum, all trucks too

We already know how it played out for GM. ALL manufacturers were supposed to comply with the J2807 standard starting with the 2013 model year. So GM revealed all new ratings at the beginning of the year and published its new tow ratings. When Ford did not adhere to J2807 when they released their...

There are no options available on Reg Cab 4x4s....they all come one way, plus small accessories There are 57 new 2013 Tacoma Reg Cab 2.7L Auto 4x4s within 75 miles of Rio Rancho, NM......with MSRPs from $23,430 to $24K...

Mall cruiser.......right?

Best deal you've found?? ****** You do know that MSRP on a brand new 2013 is only $23,465.......right!? That's BEFORE any negotiating or incentives (rebates, etc) $1500 less for 19K miles?

If GM offered their new half-ton Silverado/Sierra, Tahoe/Yukon, and Suburban/Yukon XL for the US market with a 4.5L V8 Diesel, would you buy one? It's well known that GM has a fully developed 4.5L V8 "baby Duramax" that is ready for production. Let's say they brought it to market, making 325 hp...

If Toyota offered a mid-cycle refreshed Tacoma for the US market with a 4 cylinder diesel motor, would you buy one? Let's say they brought in a version of the European RAV4's 2AD-FHV; a 2.2L 4 cylinder DOHC 16V making 175 hp and 295 lb-ft torque Compare that to the current 2.7L 4 cylinder at...

Nationally, there are plenty of 2005 Tacoma DC 4x4 6 spds out there for $15-16K So paying $6-7K more for some used expedition crap seems out of line, yes Not to mention that for the same money, you could buy a Frontier Crew 4x4 6 spd with half those miles

Decent price? Seriously?

Then why did Nissan choose Cummins? Surely Nissan/Renault has diesels around the world that would be suitable here, right? The fact is that Toyota and Nissan don't sell enough half ton trucks to justify the expense of bringing their own diesel to market. If the "take rate" of diesel is 10% and...

$22,000 for a nine year old truck with 100K miles?

That's a tough one. Most people who buy the 6.2L's don't care about fuel economy. They bought them for the luxury (Escalade, Denali) or performance. So they don't drive them in a way that helps fuel economy numbers. I only have two personal anecdotes, one being a 150 mile drive in a new 2013...
